Comparison of SIM only plans - Part 2

[xiaofan]

IMHO.
I compare eight 5G vs my Singtel 4G. Eight 5G likes to be like my Singtel 4G - keeps switching from 5G.

Oh yes. Forgot to update on the usability of Eight 5G. I am using this as my main line.

I was previously on SingTel 5G SIM Only $15.28 plan and ported to Eight 5G $14.80 plan on 12 Feb 2026.

Eight 5G is very similar in terms of speed as compared with SingTel 5G. Most times snappy when surfing and not much lag.

There have been dropped connections when using SingTel 5G and now on Eight 5G, I experience this slightly more. Such as when there is totally no connection or when the connection drops to 4G. But this does not occur too frequently and does not affect my usage experience, such that I would want to port-out.

I have yet to try overseas roaming with Eight 5G though.

Pretty much happy with Eight 5G so far, though SingTel 5G seems slightly better for the locations that I visit. But not going to fuss over this.

Main thing is, I don't have to change SIM or be worried of data charges when going overseas. I can just leave the phone in roaming mode.

Indeed feedbacks on eight 5G plans vary a lot, as I have read different comments in this forum

It probably depends on the location and use case.

I do not have eight 5G but I have StarHub Prepaid S plan 5G. From my own testing, it is much better than eight 4G. Take note I commute daily using public bus service, not MRT. Then I stay and work in the west area.

Maybe they are trying to "remove" the 4G base stations.
IIRC, quite sometime back, when one of Singtel base station when crazy, they just boost another nearby base station to fill in the gap.
